In every respectable Tuscan bakery, you will find Tuscan Bread, the "saltless" one, ideal for accompanying the "toasty" flavors of the local cuisine.

A friend of mine introduced it to me over text  a while ago, when it appeared while visiting her family in Padova, but wasn’t sure how to describe it since she never eats it. “I don’t like it,” she mentioned.  Though I’m an Ita...
